Today’s DivineOffice.org gives us: “About Today for Monday in the 5th week of Ordinary Time or St. Jerome Emiliani, Tea or St. Josephine Bakhita, V”

The LOTH frequently uses abbreviations for certain types of people, such as “V” for virgin and “M” for martyr, but what is “Tea”? It would seem that it does not match any available type of common.
 
“Tea” means you would use the Common of Teachers. For Jerome Emiliani you could alternately use the Common of Holy Men.
 
So, St. Jerome Emiliani isn’t the patron saint of warm beverages? 😃

(Couldn’t help myself!)

That would be St. Fiacre.

Interesting patronages, that Fiacre. He is also the patron saint for hemmorhoid sufferers. In Fiacre’s day, they (hemmorhoids) were called “Fiacre’s figs.” :ouch:

And of taxi cab drivers. The first cabs for hire were operated out of the Hôtel de St. Fiacre in Paris back in the late1600’s

Ergo, he became their Patron Saint :cool:

(and a horse drawn cab is known as a ‘Fiacre’ in French)
